The Man with the iconic Tom Selleck mustache! A sincere kind man who always held love of family first! While enjoying work, life's priority was always family, and rightfully so! While we worked together decades previously at Varian Associates in Palo Alto, our paths crossed again while working in Sacramento! As we would carpool together shared many fond memories of work and people we remembered

...Even came to realize we lived in very close proximity for a time in Mountain View! Life can be short and we all should aspire to the priorities Dave held so high! His spirit will live on through my fond memories of times we shared! God Bless The Rowley Family and I am very sorry for your loss. Please know he was extremely proud of you!

Dave has been a tremendous blessing to mee and my family.  He would drive me back and forth from my Mom's home to my work site when I had short work trips to Sac and he'd always take great interest in my family.  He lived a life empowered by the Spirit of God inside him, selfless, humble, full of integrity, thoughtful and uncompromising in his faith.  He loved/lead his family very well.

What a beautiful tribute to David. Thank you, Nancy. I loved seeing all the photos. It saddens me that David was not able to beat this cancer. Everyone in the family is in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love and condolences, Cousin Janet

David Rowley was not only my brother-in-law, but that relationship developed into a strong friendship over the 20+ years I have known him. It seems such an odd thing that he be gone now, and I find myself wanting to talk to him more than ever. It is such an odd thing that he had to go - I miss him very much.
